Product Description
The Diablo 1-3/8 in. x 7-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is engineered for demanding drilling tasks in wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening, and plumbing applications. Diablo designed this auger bit with a two-step cutting action that delivers precise, clean holes through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood - giving tradespeople and contractors a reliable tool that handles tough conditions without slowing down. Whether you are boring through structural lumber packed with nails or drilling clean holes in plywood, this bit is built to keep up with the job.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes - reduces tear-out and produces professional-quality results in a wide range of wood materials including nail-embedded wood
- Self-feeding Dura-Tip pulls the bit through the material - reduces the effort required and maintains consistent forward progress, especially in nail-embedded wood where resistance is high
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling - both edges share the cutting load, extending the working life of the bit and reducing strain on your drill or driver
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - accelerates chip evacuation so the bit stays clear and you get more holes per battery charge when using a cordless tool
- 7/16 in. hex quick change shank increases stability and durability - fits securely in cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers, reducing wobble and enabling fast bit swaps on the job
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge handle the extra resistance of nails in framing lumber without the bit binding or breaking down prematurely, making it the right choice for demolition-adjacent drilling tasks
- Faster drilling with fewer battery changes - deep flutes actively clear chips from the hole, keeping the bit cutting efficiently and extending the number of holes you can complete on a single cordless battery charge
- Versatile across multiple wood types - compatible with hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood, so one bit covers the full range of materials encountered in framing, plumbing rough-in, and furniture assembly work
- Compatible with standard cordless and corded tools - the 7/16 in. hex quick change shank fits most drill drivers and impact wrenches, so there is no need for adapters or specialty equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
What shank size does this auger bit use, and will it fit my drill?
This Diablo auger bit features a 7/16 in. hex quick change shank, which is compatible with most standard cordless and corded drill drivers and impact wrenches. The quick change design also allows for fast bit swaps without tools.
Can this bit drill through wood that has nails embedded in it?
Yes. The Diablo DAG1160 is specifically engineered for nail-embedded wood applications. The Dura-Tip provides extreme durability when contact with nails occurs, and the dual cutting edge maintains smooth, effortless drilling progress through nail-embedded lumber.
What is the working length of this bit, and how deep can it bore?
The working length of this bit is 5-1/2 in., which represents the active cutting portion of the bit. The overall length is 7-1/2 in. This makes it well suited for framing, plumbing rough-in, and other applications requiring a clean through-hole in standard dimensional lumber.
What types of wood materials is this auger bit rated to drill?
The Diablo 1-3/8 in. auger bit is designed to drill hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. Its two-step cutting action and deep flute design handle the varying densities and grain structures of these materials while maintaining clean, precise hole quality.
